Multicultural Arts Victoria invites culturally diverse and Aboriginal artists and cultural leaders in the Goulburn Valley to participate in a series of FREE cultural leadership workshops taking place on Tuesdays from May 29 – July 10.

The workshops will provide unique opportunities to share ideas and develop skills in cultural leadership, creative enterprise and cultural management. They will also create spaces for networking with established artists and leaders, local government, business, media and cultural sectors, and discussing common issues with peers and experts.

There are still three workshops available, but places are limited.

#4 PROJECT LOGIC: DEVELOPING ARTS AND COMMUNITY PROJECTS

Come and hear from some local artists and cultural leaders in Shepparton who have translated their passion, aspirations and ideas into successful projects. Where did they start, who did they ask for help, how did they resource it, how did they manage their projects and what did they learn? Then have a go at developing your own project idea and plan with guidance from experienced facilitator Jess Orr.

Presenters: Mimi Leung (Shepparton Animation Festival), Mellisa Silaga (Know Your Roots), Jess Orr (Inclusive Consulting)
Date: Tues 26 June 2018 Time: 5.30pm – 8.30pm
Venue: The Connection, 7287 Midland Hwy, Shepparton

#5 TELLING YOUR STORY: PART 1 CONNECTING WITH LOCAL MEDIA
Meet some local journalists, reporters and radio presenters from One FM 98.5, Shepp News and ABC Open and learn how to get your stories and projects profiled in local media. Who do you call, what do you need, how do you pitch your story? We will also cover techniques on how to speak well and with confidence during radio interviews.

Presenters: Tara Whitsted (Shepp News journalist), Matt Dowling (ABC), Terri Cowley (One FM 98.5)
Date: Tues 3 July 2018 Time: 5.30pm – 8.30pm
Venue: The Connection, 7287 Midland Hwy, Shepparton

 #6 TELLING YOUR STORY: PART 2 PUBLIC SPEAKING WITH CONFIDENCE
We all have stories to tell which can inspire, motivate, educate and create change and powerful communication can be the difference between spreading your message and the public remembering your message. In this workshop you will learn some exercises to help overcome the fear so that you can tap into your passion and speak with confidence.
